And she's back!

You know how it is?

You think you know your password.
But it's wrong.

You think you signed in with one of your email accounts.
But it's wrong.

After spending a "little" while trying to remember passwords, usernames, etc., I am HAPPY to say...I"m back!

I've decided to come back to the Blogging world.

It's an escape of the everyday...A place where I can share things going on, things I create, things i want to say and things I want to show people.

A lot has gone on since I last posted...and a lot is going on right now.

But my motto for the year is "Be Happy".

I know, I know...how can you be happy with the way the world is right now.  And the answer is, that there is always "something" to be HAPPY about.

Jill 

Yes, I am still here!

Yes, it's been awhile since I blogged.

A LONG while!

Things happen.

But today I decided to come back.

Yes, I'm still creating and scrapbooking.  I think I'll be doing that forever! It's a part of me, a part that I love! 

Years ago someone said I needed a hobby, and i got one.  I'm lucky it's one that I enjoy doing every single day.

It brings me joy!

And Joy is something that everyone should have :-)

So....would you like to see a few layouts that i created in the past year?

Some of have seen them, some have not, but I love them!

So to answer a few questions...

Yes I still create.
Yes I still am an Instructor with Kiwi Lane (5 years now!)
and Yes, I still have my Etsy Store where I sell the layouts that I create!  (link is up in the top right)

It was a good day to start back up again, don't you think?

Sharing a new layout!

Today I decided to go to the Scrapbook Store and Scrapbook.

And yes, I know it's Wednesday, but I decided to venture out of the house! Which goes totally against me wanting to become a Hermit.

And what's even more strange is that I started AND finished a layout!

I think it's pretty!

Now, if you know me you know that i really don't like the color blue...yes, I know Strange.  But even though I don't like blue I can SCRAPBOKK blue and it turns out pretty good!

I didn't want to bring a lot of supplies with me today since it was a weekday.  And, I knew I wouldn't be there for very long.  Maybe a couple of hours at the most.  So what did I pack?  My Kiwi Lane Templates, some ink, my paper trimmer, scissors, and some pop dots.  Oh...and paper.  Not much really, I'm pretty sure that I only used six sheets to create the above layout. Which to be honest, is not bad! One thing I forgot....a pencil

Oh well.  But as you can see it all worked out!  And I have another beautiful layout which has already been added to my Etsy Shop!

Have a Happy Day!

Jill

"Merry"

Yes...there I said it "Merry". 

I know, I know it's still August and everything Christmas is coming out earlier and earlier every year. 

Including December Daily Albums, Yearly Christmas Albums and so forth...

But I NEEDED to get this album posted today!  

Why today?  

Well, mainly because the paper that I used for my album is from Kiwi Lanes and it's in the Last Chance section of the store...and I wanted to give you all a chance to be able to purchase some before it's gone, gone, gone, forever! (I'll list the products I used in my store to the bottom of the post) 

Now, what you need to realize is that my album is not yet completed.  It's "nearly" there, but I have Oh so much more to do!  I don't particularly like the ribbons Iused, so I want to change all of that to sheer green polka dot ribbon and some sheer blue polka dot ribbon, and one other color which I need to decide on.  Also, I need to decorate the tabs of the album itself.  They look a bit naked and need some decorating...so I need to do that.  And I need to add MORE gemstones...but like I said, it's "nearly" there! 

Here's the album: (just remember, it's NOT completely done....but "nearly" there!  :-) 

As you can see throughout the album I used the Scallop Template (A1).  I wanted each page to have something in common.  And since the Scallop is one of my most favorite templates I decided to use that one! 

I also used the Merry and Bright Layout Kit from Kiwi Lane Designs.  It's Nice and Bright and Fun!  I think I used at least four packaged of this paper...the multicolored dotted paper that I used for photo mats if from Coordinations and was purchased at Joanns. 

So...what other templates from Kiwi Lane Designs did I use? Here's a list with links to the store: 

Kiwi Lane Designer Template: Scallops No. 1A

Kiwi Lane Designer Template:  Large Bracket No. 1

Kiwi Lane Designer Template:  Tiny Holiday No. 8T

Kiwi Lane Designer Template:  Tiny Holiday No. 1T

Kiwi Lane Designer Template:  Tiny Holiday No. 3T

Kiwi Lane Designer Template:  Winter  No. 2

Kiwi Lane Designs Paper:  Merry and Bright Layout Kit (I used SEVERAL of these kits)

Now....if you'd like to use the same paper that I used to make an album, you REALLY should order some Layout Kits asap!  The Layout Kits are in the "Last Chance Section" of the store...which means when they are gone...they're gone!

For the Month of September All outside orders (Templates, Paper, etc) for my website need to be
placed through the following link:

https://create.kiwilane.com/parties/385

Here's a link to the "Last Chance" section!  And when you're ready to place an order all you need to do is go to my Website:  create.kiwilanedesigns.com/jillcornelius or KiwiLaneGirl.com  then you create an account, and make your selections.  All orders over $35.00 receive Free Shipping!  Which is a plus for me since I used probably 4-5 of the Merry and Bright Layout Kits....

Sharing some NEW Kiwi Lane Design Layouts :-)

It's been quite a while since I shared any of my Kiwi Lane Design Layouts on my Blog and I thought to myself, "Self, why don't you post some layouts!"  So here I am!  BUT, I'm not ONLY going to post some Layouts, I'm also going to share with you some NEW PRODUCTS that will be available this weekend!
